Denim For Dollars

We Dress Down To Raise Others Up

Denim for Dollars is a fundraising effort led by staff members in which employees who choose to participate donate a minimum amount each City payday to wear jeans. Employees select one of three causes they would like to support — First Responders, Social Outreach or Animal Wellness. The funds are then donated to different organizations within our community.

Since 2015, Beach Municipal FCU and our members have donated more than $30,495.82 to our Denim For Dollars recipients.

During the previous quarter, our employees elected to send their contributions to the following organizations:

Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center

Their mission is accomplished by working with citizens and other animal welfare organizations; by enforcing the domestic animals laws of our Commonwealth and our City, providing educational programs and humanely providing care, nourishment and a safe environment for the unwanted, stray, abused and abandoned animals in our City.

They will educate the public about responsible companion animal ownership, aggressively investigate animal cruelty cases, find homes for the homeless animals and humanely euthanize the unwanted animals in our community.

Founded in 1986, faith-based organizations in Virginia Beach came together to address hunger near the Oceanfront by serving meals to neighbors in need. What began as a Saturday-only meal service quickly grew in response to rising demand, expanding to provide dinners Monday through Saturday.

In 1990, with support from private donors as well as state and local government funding, property at 1053 Virginia Beach Boulevard was purchased and the Frank Bragg Dining Hall was built. The organization officially became known as the Judeo-Christian Outreach Center (JCOC) on July 13, 1995.

Today, JCOC partners with dozens of volunteer groups, places of worship, civic organizations, and individuals to serve more than 100,000 meals annually to neighbors facing food insecurity. This vital work is made possible through the generosity of dedicated volunteers who give their time and talents to support the community.

Each day, more than 100 guests attend Community Dinner, where meaningful connections are formed alongside a warm meal. In addition to prepared meals, JCOC also operates a Food Pantry and Food Box Program, providing free groceries to hundreds of households. These hunger relief programs help stabilize families, prevent homelessness, and reduce the risk of recurring hardship.
